The Eaglestons are from Acardia, but are staying in Wisconsin while Roger Eagleston awaits a life-saving lung transplant. Because his transplant will be performed in Wisconsin, the couple must remain there.

They have been waiting in Wisconsin since December and were each allowed one suitcase for their flight there.

"There's no way you can come up here and live on that, so I was at the Goodwill and that's when I discovered my wallet was stolen," said Debbis Eagleston.

Police have a surveillance photo of a man and a woman they believe are connected to the case, but so far no arrests have been made. The Eaglestons say the money they lost was supposed to go toward bills.
